Vintage T-Shirt Forum & Community Authentication Appraisals

looking on 2nd opinions on this oneita power t tag that raised some concerns to me. mostly the spacing looks all wrong? it’s licensed 1990 here is a legit tag from a parent tshirt (different design merch tee but from the same tv series, same year 1990) thanks in advance for any help. seller asking for 300€. cold.

edit. wrong pic links

I would always be interested in seeing the print before making a call on it. It looks fine to me, unless there's a new fake floating around.

Remember, vintage tags have legit irregularities.

Take a quick look here and you'll see, ALL of these are all authentic:

1/2

So this is the one Im interested about, the one that the seller claims its a very rare 1990 promo. The sun faded seems a bit intentional, as well as the ageing? on the print, but maybe im just paranoid...





and this is the only similar tee Ive been able to find. doesnt have a liscence but funny enough, tag looks consistent with other merch from twin peaks from that year and other oneita power-t tags from that year although print looks terrible https://www.ebay.com/itm/285692322210?h ... SwBU9lxZ8t

So is that the print you have?

Both of those eBay links say Gildan tags.

sorry Jimmy, check again, since I was including too many links and I had to split the post.

btw, I know it says Gildan but anyway still find it suspicious. adding part two of my post again

and also, some months ago at least 2 different batches probably coming from the same manufacturer were sold on ebay. Links might not display images on desktop but they do show in the mobile app. Included some screenshots as well.

one here https://www.ebay.com/itm/394954705541?h ... SwjaFlN0E7


and the other one here https://www.ebay.es/itm/186164616817?mk ... media=COPY


I also used this old defunkd post as a reference 1990 oneita power-t legit tag on a twin peaks merch tee https://www.defunkd.com/product/TH15077 ... e-t-shirt/

That's all I got for now.

I just checked WorthPoint and found 3 others, all with a Oneita tag. One was sold in 2016:

www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/vintage- ... 1838894797

then a few in 2022.

www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/vintage- ... 4541893327

this one is missing the copyright and TM like the eBay one you posted:

It seems unlikely to me that someone found a Oneita blank to print this on in the modern era.
